Because uscan had a bug (it quoted version numbers), and APT has no bug;
it only outputs the records found in the repositories (and the
virtualbox.org version numbers are invalid).
You might want to reopen the bug and reassign it to dpkg and ask them to
only print a warning (and continue) instead of an error (and aborting).
